Are these tapes from a venue ? Might help pinpoint who was playing them etc! or old tapes direct from a Dj We all remember most of Searlings stuff when it got un-covered, but later things got a little bit mixed up--just a thought thats all rob

Large batch of posters sent yesterday morning for those of you who were waiting. Still have copies of both as above. Rob

I think this is a REGIONAL thing, depending on what DJs you get to hear. On the lists above Micky Moonshine is played at nearly every Northern night we've been to in the Yorkshire/ Notts area as are several of the others. i also heard The Adlibs a couple of weeks ago But the likes of Sam Nesbitt I probably haven't heard "out" for over 20 years, but you can bet your life that someone is playing these sounds on a regular basis in the N.West or London. Just a thought ! Rob & karen

Pm'd ya-just wait to you see this years !! just like the flyers Still got a few of the USA ones left if anyone missed this thread early on Rob

What about that record james trouble took off the decks at the Britt---lasted about 35 seconds

As tats has now retired, it looks like he'll be putting it all down on paper at some point and using that English A level grade1 he always talks about, I think he paid Roose to sit the exam for him Bully, Sean and Tats--I've got photos from the trip when I can find them in the basement in Washington, now i'd like to get all the copies of Nolan Porter that bully left down there ! Rob

Ok Brian thought you'd like it ! just packing the rest up for everyone who ordered Ojays & others for posting in the morning. we're having some A3s done of the Bridlington one to sell at the event limited edition of 100. Rob

They'll be worth money when they pull Prestatyn down Still in touch with Melvin on a weekly basis-watch this space rob & karen

Can you remember the song that was playing on the radio Sean, it was by a new Washington rap group called Hood brovers or something like it...the first line to the song was ( I quote) "If you come 'round my 'hood white motherf***ker, I'll blow you F***king head off" repeat several times nice tune--no wonder you were on the floor Happy days and YOU got the bobby Reed from the next box to mine rob

Just a bump on this Thanks to all who have ordered so far, both still available, BIG post out saturday morning when we get to the Post office on the otherside of WORKSOP. (they have closed ALL the 3 that were on our side of town) Also found Melvin Davis at Ollerton All-Dayer 4 colour with picture of Melvin Size A3 £3 plus £1 P& P (post free if ordered with those other 2) only 100 were ever done to be sold at the event in 2005 Pm us Rob & Karen

sent you an e-mail mate

Has anyone got contact details for keith & Maxine Woon please e-mail or phone number PM us thanks rob & karen

I think Jim Wensiora had a copy of that in his collection, so it would have most likely come from John Manship or Dave Raistrick. Both on here so give us a shout . Rob & Karen

How much does that cost ?? Rob

Thanks Ian I' f**king useless at this computer lark !!! Rob

Yes still got copies of both of them available I've PM'd you Rob

Hi Chris Sent you a PM We still have some posters available PM us Rob & karen

Thanks Mr Soulsbury!! great name. Ally was a terror. He searched my bag one night and found my clean kickers for the long journey home. Ally put them on his head and ran around until I could catch him and get them back Was very embarrassed to say the least!!!! Love Karen

Sorry guys STRADS definately was as I said, even checked with the name himself!!! Adrian has not been very well of late (do not want to go into details) but I am sure everyone who knows him will wish him well. Sorry Kenny love!!! A bit forgetful at the mo!!! Love Karen ps Martin and Kenny, you know both of you have always been family xxxxxxx pps Albert is back!!!!!!

Hi, could not resist adding something to this thread. Adrian Gyte has always been like a dad to me, trying to keep me in check for over twenty odd years!!. So here goes, I work for Steve Croft and Adrian Gyte (along with my Lesley Singleton RIP xxx) they were the organiser of Clifton Hall, Cleethropes, Bradford Queens Hall (Alan Senior was also a co-promotor pre early split!!!) also Hinkley Leasure Centre, Bolton Town Hall, Warrington, Redcarr and Benson (compliments of Chris King saving the day (anniversary night)) after we lost Bradford Queens hall to the greedy student union who thought they could run it without us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Strads shop and cafe were both run by Steve, Adrian and of course Betty!!! Strads actually stands for Sounds, Television, Radio And Disco Services!!! I would just like to mention Graham Williamson (RIP) who worked as apart of our family team on the door for many years. Also thanks to the person on this thread who mentioned Jan Jones, this will always be my favourite record ever. Brickie (THE DOGS BOLLOCKS xxxx) always played it for me even at the 100 club when there were only 5 copies in the country. He always told me I was his independant woman. I love and miss him so much. Love Karen (and ROB) XXX

Definately got to agree with you Kim. Buzzard niters were fantantic and the music policy was really exceptional!!! My hat goes off to Sue and Jon Buck as they did alot for the scene in the eighties, not only running Buzzard but Loughborough Town Hall (great vidoe!!), Dunstable, Peterborough Fleet, Hemel do's - Buttons and also responsible for great alnighters on the scooter scene at the time!!! They are a great couple who have been there for alot of people over the years including myself, I personally can not thank them enough!! With regards to the main phone, here goes - from Left to right - Mad Mick, Brickie, Dave Lowe, Shaun Burnes, Joan, Ann, Me (over Miles left shoulder) Miles, Mark Jones (over Miles right shoulder) and Andre Douch!!! Numerous more I could name if I had a magnifying glass!!! Love Karen and Rob xxx

And some "Odd fellows" at the Oddfellows These pictures were taken downstairs, very sorry they are poor quality as my scanner is not working. They are of Chris French, Curly and Andy Humphries. The Swindon, Gloucester and Basingstoke crewe hung around together in the early eighties, definately my favority time on the scene!!! Me and Chris were inseparable until his short break away... say no more!! Then I had the good forture to go around with Trina and Steve, Mark Goerge, Mark Oliver, Edwin, Brickie and Mark Sargant!!!!! thats when the fun really started!!!! Love Karen ps I am on the vidoe, all in black dancing next to Chris!!! more of my feet then anything!!!

Here we go Anyone else still got their membership card ??? Oddfellows had a strict policy that everyone had to have a membership card to get in otherwise you had to fill out a form and queue up for another one. All details were then put into a large ledger type book along with your membership number, which was stamped on the back. Mine was 293. I wonder what happened to that log? It would be a true piece of Norther Soul History if it ever turned up!!!! Love Karen

from karen The 1st anniversary nighter, just before the dancing Competition. One of the DJs played MVPs "Turning my heartbeat up"--the whole floor EXPLODED and most of the 600+ people there started STOMPING , the atmosphere was electric. You could not hear the sound of the record over the shuffling on the floor. When the record finished the whole crowd were clapping an cheering THAT IS WHAT OUR SCENE IS ALL ABOUT Between the Oddfellows & Notts Palais is where i met my partners in Crime , , you know who you are Little joan, (before you were jumping) and Louise shhhhh Karen x
